Every case is a category.
We staff yours accordingly.
Watchtower handles 63 distinct types of casework across Middle and West Tennessee, and each one goes to a licensed investigator who has worked that specific kind of matter before. Find yours below, or call and describe the situation in plain language.
Sorted by case type, not by whoever is free.
Most agencies keep a short bench and hand whatever comes through the door to whoever has an open afternoon. Watchtower works the other way around. Casework is sorted into defined specialties first, and the file goes to an investigator who has run that kind of matter before — because a domestic surveillance job and a corporate fraud inquiry share almost nothing beyond the word "investigation".
That holds for a suspected affair in Green Hills, a shrinkage problem at a Memphis warehouse, an evasive subject in Clarksville, or a defense file in a Rutherford County courtroom. The catalog below is the honest range of what we take on, with a page for each explaining how that type of case is actually worked.
Every inquiry is confidential from the first phone call, and nothing goes into the field until you know the plan, the timeline and the cost.

Relationship & Domestic Matters
Discreet answers when the question is about someone close to you.
Cheating Spouse Investigations
Quiet, time-stamped documentation of a husband or wife's movements and companions, prepared to the evidentiary standard a Tennessee divorce or custody file demands.
Williamson County case detailsUnmarried Partner Inquiries
You do not need a marriage license to deserve the truth. The same disciplined fieldwork, applied to a girlfriend, boyfriend, fiance or long-term partner.
Murfreesboro case detailsTraveling Spouse Inquiries
When the suspicion follows a partner onto a plane or across a state line, our investigators extend the watch rather than closing the file at the border.
Middle Tennessee case detailsOffice Affair Inquiries
A suspected relationship with a colleague requires discretion from two directions at once — your partner and their employer. We plan the surveillance around both.

Time-stamped visual documentation of what is actually happening.
On-the-Job Conduct Monitoring
Covert observation of how working hours are genuinely being spent, giving an employer documented fact rather than rumor before any disciplinary step is taken.

Continuous observation of a subject who relocates or travels, coordinated so one investigator's file does not end where another state begins.

Before you call an investigator.
Yes, if you want the findings to survive scrutiny. Private investigation is a licensed profession in Tennessee, regulated by the Department of Commerce and Insurance, and work performed by an unlicensed party can be challenged later — which matters when the result is headed into a divorce, custody, civil or criminal file. Every investigator working a Watchtower case is licensed and insured.
No. Every conversation is confidential from the first call, surveillance is covert, and records research generates no notification to the subject. Nobody learns an investigation happened unless you choose to tell them.
It is prepared to be — time-stamped observation logs, photographs and video, written summaries and, where needed, affidavits. Whether a specific item is admitted is a decision for the court and your attorney, so we recommend coordinating with counsel from the start.
Most cases open within one to two business days of the consultation. Time-sensitive matters — a surveillance window closing, an active custody concern, a subject about to move — are prioritized ahead of that.
It depends on the case type and scope, which is why nothing goes into the field until you have the plan, the timeline and the price in front of you. You will not receive an open-ended bill you never agreed to.
Yes. Watchtower is headquartered in Nashville and works throughout Middle and West Tennessee, including Clarksville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Jackson and Memphis, with the backing of Delator Group's statewide network. The case pages here are organized by the markets each type is most often requested in, not by the limit of where we travel.
If it is not on this page, ask anyway.
This catalog covers the casework we are asked for most, not the limit of what our investigators take on. One conversation is usually enough to tell whether we can help.
